I don’t mind the home whites that the Nats have worn since their inception and have a replica jersey that was given to me at my bachelor party. However, I don’t quibble with the uniform purists who want script that will match the curly W cap and road uniforms. It won’t be as unique as the golden beveled block lettering, but if they do what I expect, it will be fine. Being the Nats though, they may find a way to screw it up.

I have heard that the red alternative jerseys are out in favor of blue though. While I love blue, I have grown to like the red alts and with the Capitals, Redskins and next season, the Wizards, all wearing some shade of red, I like the idea of D.C. teams all wearing that color. At least the Nats will stay be red, white and blue. I have a theory that the road cap is going to switch to a red curly W too. I wonder if all the Phillies hate is contributing to blue replacing red? I have heard a rumor that the changes will be big, so perhaps the red cap is a goner too. I hope not.

Hopefully the cheesy stars and stripes uniforms are being retired too.

UPDATED 9:20 p.m. October 27: A press release showed up in my inbox with details like this: The glitz and glamour of the fashion runway is coming to Nationals Park.

When I was 9 years old, we visited our former neighbors in their new Michigan home for Thanksgiving. According to Bruce Campbell, we didn’t celebrate the right way.

Later that weekend, we piled into the back of a Chevy station wagon (diesel even) and drove through Detroit to Windsor, Ont. just to say we went to Canada, I guess. We had McDonald’s and since it was warm, the back window was rolled down. J.J. shot spitballs onto the Canadian street. Then we got stuck in traffic crossing the Ambassador Bridge and I half-ate a Snickers.
